 SYSTEM UNIT
-The primary function of the computer system unit is to
hold all the other components together and protect the
sensitive electronic parts from the outside elements. A
typical computer case is also large enough to allow for
upgrades, such as adding a second hard drive or a
higher-quality video card. It is relatively easy to open
up a computer system unit to replace parts and install
upgrades

MONITOR
-A computer monitor is a display adapter that displays
information processed by the computer's video card.
When a video card or graphics card converts binary
information from 1s and 0s into images, these images
are displayed onto the directly connected monitor

KEYBOARD
-A computer keyboard is an input device used to enter
characters and functions into the computer system by
pressing buttons, or keys. It is the primary device used to
enter text. A keyboard typically contains keys for
individual letters, numbers and special characters, as
well as keys for specific functions

MOUSE
-A computer mouse enables its user to move a cursor smoothly and
intuitively across a two-dimensional plane. It's therefore an essential
input device for selecting, dragging, hovering, and clicking.
 MICROPHONE
-A microphone is a device that captures audio by
converting sound waves into an electrical signal. This
signal can be amplified as an analog signal or may be
converted to a digital signal, which can be processed by a
computer or other digital audio device.

SPEAKER
 -The purpose of speakers is to produce audio output that
can be heard by the listener. Speakers are transducers
that convert electromagnetic waves into sound waves.
The speakers receive audio input from a device such as a
computer or an audio receiver.

PRINTER
-The function of a printer is to provide the user with a
copy of what is input into the printer via your computer.
This can be from several input opportunities depending
upon your particular printer's capabilities. If you have a
multi-function printer, input/output can be in the form of
print, copy, fax or scan.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

-A automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is a electronic device
for automatically maintaining generator output terminal
voltage at a set value under varying load and operating
temperature. It controls
output by sensing the voltage
Vout at a power-generating
coil and comparing it to a
stable reference.
MOTHERBOARD
-A motherboard is one of the most essential parts of a computer system. It holds
together many of the crucial components of a computer, including the central
processing unit (CPU), memory and connectors for input and output devices.

PROCESOR(( or CPU)

-The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is a

piece of hardware that carries out the instructions of a
computer program. It performs the basic arithmetical,
logical, and input/output operations of a computer system.

POWER SUPPLY
-A power supply is an electrical device
that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The
primary function of a power supply is to convert electric
current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and
frequency to power the load.

SYSTEM FAN
-A computer fan is any fan inside, or attached to, a computer
case used for active cooling. Fans are used to draw cooler
air into the case from the outside, expel warm air from inside
and move air across a heat sink to cool a particular
component.

HARD DISK
-A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk is an electro-mechanical
data storage device that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital data using
one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material.

OPTIMAL DRIVE
-An optical drive in a computer system allows you to use
CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs to listen to music or watch
a movie. Most drives also allow you to write data to
a disc, so you can create your own music CDs or create a
backup copy of important data.

RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY

-RAM or Random-Access Memory is a type of computer
data storage and stores the files that are in use while the
computer is running. These files may include various
programs such as operating system, etc. RAM allows for
faster access to files, as compared to other types of data
storage.

VIDEO CARD

-A video card connects to the motherboard of a computer

system and generates output images to display. Video
cards are also referred to as graphics cards. Video cards
include a processing unit, memory, a cooling mechanism
and connections to a display device.
